Stella did not look at his face.
She knew that his expression must be interesting right now.
“The chocolate tastes nice. I have also eaten two of these toffees. They are not bad either...”
She smiled nonchalantly. “Did you choose this wedding candy, or was it Guinevere? It should be her,
since you don‘t really like candy...”
Before she could finish her words, the man snatched the candy she picked up and put it back into the
box. He then slammed it shut and threw it into the rubbish bin.
“Who gave it to you?” His voice was very cold.
She chuckled and said, “Everyone in the crew got one.”
Her expression was relaxed, so relaxed that it made her look a bit cruel.
Weston stared at her, trying to find anything in her expression that was different from her previous
demeanor.
But there was none.
Apart from faint mockery, there was only a hint of unconcerned smile.
An inexplicable irritation grew in his chest.
He tugged at his collar. “I‘ve warned you. This crew is not the place for you.”
His words carried a hint of impatience.
She paused and relaxed her face. “It‘s just a wedding gift. Don‘t worry. I don‘t care about such things at
all.”
“Since you don‘t care, then why are you throwing a tantrum?”
She laughed. “How would I dare to? If I really were to throw a tantrum, I would not have brought this
over.” She continued, “They taste good. Why did you throw them away? What a waste.”
“Stella.” He suddenly interrupted with a deep voice, “Stop pissing me off.”
“Hey, don‘t be angry.” Her tone became more relaxed as she helped him straighten his collar. “I think
today is a good day for you, right? Did you get your marriage license with Guinevere, or is it some other
anniversary? It‘s supposed to be a happy day, so don‘t get upset because of me.”
“Stella!”
He was really angry this time when he shouted her name. His dark eyes were surging with unrestrained
emotions, looking as if they were about to devour her,
“Do you think you can provoke me by deliberately saying all these?”
What will I gain by provoking you?” She was amused. “Haven‘t I always been pleasing you?”
“If you really were, you would not have this kind of reaction.”
“Then what reaction do you expect from me?”
Not saying anything, he pressed his thin lips into a horizontal line.
He had such a delicate and well–defined face. He looked so handsome no matter which angle she
looked at him from.
Unfortunately, he was equally ruthless. He was such a mighty and powerful man, who showed very
little tenderness to her. It was very little, but he expected her to be grateful for it. The man‘s eyes
darkened.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her chin. He exerted a little force, yet she could already feel the
rush of pressure from it. She met his gaze and did not flinch. She just stared at him. After a moment,
the man leaned down and breathed hot air into her ear. In a low voice, he said, “If you keep up this
attitude, I will consider extending the term for a year.”
“You!”
He had stepped directly on her sore spot. One year was all she had hoped for, and she only hoped that
after this year, he would really let her go.
She clenched her fists at once and looked at the man in front of her with some reluctance.
Then, she took a deep breath. “I‘m a little tired. I want to rest.”
She seemed to have acquiesced.
